1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Introduction: The pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTCS) is characterized by elevated intracranial pressure in the absence of intracranial structural lesions, with normal cerebrospinal fluid. PTCS may be primary, also known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), or secondary to an identifiable cause such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Primary and secondary PTCS share similar clinical features. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 43-year-old female of normal weight initially suspected of IIH, who was subsequently diagnosed with secondary PTCS caused by a tongue base tumor, leading to OSA. She presented with symptoms consistent with PTCS, including headache, transient visual obscurations, and progressive visual decline. Fundoscopy revealed severe bilateral papilledema, and lumbar puncture showed an opening pressure of 43 cm H Conclusion: The case illustrates the importance of thorough search for secondary causes in patients diagnosed with PTCS.
